IRM706110330 FLU07-03 Page 2
Due to the specially selected base stock and superior additive package, Cat HYDO
Advanced 10 outperforms Cat HYDO in the following areas:
• 6,000-hour change intervals when used in conjunction with S•O•S SM Services oil
analysis. (Reference Recommended Service Interval Section)
• Improved filtration properties
• Enhanced wear protection for piston hydraulic pumps
• Superior thermal stability
• Increased corrosion protection
• Higher oxidation resistance
• Significantly reduced oil darkening
• Eliminates interference with optical particle counters
As a result of this new product release, Cat HYDO will be discontinued in early
2008. Cat HYDO Advanced 10 improves upon all of the advantages of the previous
product while extending the drain interval. Cat HYDO Advanced 10 offers enhanced
value to the customer and can be recommended in any application where Cat HYDO
has been used in the past.

New Recommended Service Intervals for Cat ® HYDO Advanced 10
Caterpillar is increasing the recommended oil drain interval for hydraulic systems using
Cat HYDO Advanced 10. During extended field and lab evaluation, Cat HYDO
Advanced 10 demonstrated extended drain capability due to the fluid’s premium
additives and base stock. The standard drain interval is currently 3,000 hours for Cat
HYDO Advanced 10. Provided that the oil is monitored every 500 hours using
Caterpillar’s S•O•S Services oil analysis, or an equivalent program, and the conditions
below are met, the drain interval can be increased to 6,000 hours for all machine
hydraulic systems components.
Note: Cat HYDO Advanced 10 is NOT recommended for service brakes (oil immersed),
clutches, drive axles, final drives or differentials.
Note: Cat HYDO Advanced 10 is NOT recommended for use in machine compartments
that include friction material (e.g. “Hoist, Torque Converter, and Brake System” for offhighway
trucks).
Note: Cat HYDO Advanced 10 is NOT recommended for use in machine compartments
where Cat TDTO, Cat TDTO-TMS or commercial oils that meet Cat TO-4 or TO-4M
specifications are the primary recommendation. Refer to the machine specific
Operation and Maintenance Manual for guidance.
The following conditions should be met for best results
• Hydraulic Oil Filters
The Caterpillar hydraulic oil filter change interval will remain at the current 500 hours
except in the applications for which a longer interval has been approved. Caterpillar
filters are strongly recommended.
• Monitoring Hydraulic Oil Condition
Monitor the oil every 500 hours (same as currently prescribed) by Caterpillar’s standard
S•O•S Services oil sampling and test procedures (see “Measured Data”), or an
equivalent oil-sampling program.
Observe current oil cleanliness level guidelines as stated in “Particle Count” under
“Measured Data”.

Information Release Memo
IRM706110330 FLU07-03 Page 6
If Caterpillar’s S•O•S Services oil analysis monitoring or equivalent (including
interpretation) is not available, the traditional 3,000-hour drain interval should be
retained.
• Measured Data
The following data should be monitored using Cat’s S•O•S Services oil analysis testing
techniques (measured, trended, analyzed and reported). Oil management* and
condemnation** guidelines for contaminants and particle count are as follows:
Wear Metals - Oil management: trended for significant changes (iron, copper,
chromium, lead, aluminum and tin);
Additive metals trended for significant changes - Oil management: zinc, calcium,
magnesium and phosphorous;
Contaminants - Coolant: based on S•O•S Services guidelines and trend analysis for Na
(sodium) and K (potassium), Water: 0.5% maximum, Dirt: based on S•O•S Services
guidelines and trend analysis for Si (silicon) and Al (aluminum);
Particle Count - Oil management: The recommended cleanliness target for Caterpillar
machines operating in the field is ISO 18/15 or cleaner. Trending particle count oil
analysis should monitor system cleanliness. If contamination levels trend upward by
more than two (2) ISO codes, action should be taken to determine cause and to return
the system to the desired level. (Note: Some older-technology machines in the field
might not be able to maintain cleanliness levels as good as those of newer models.
However, the same contamination control service and maintenance procedures should
be used on all Caterpillar Inc. products.);
Oxidation – The Condemnation guideline is 40% allowable (0.12 Abs units) for the
differential scan FT-IR method. S•O•S Services now recommends using the
Unsubtracted FT-IR Method (UFM) for measuring Oxidation. The general UFM
guideline for hydraulic oils is 17. A specific UFM guideline is not currently available for
this new hydraulic oil.

Information Release Memo
IRM706110330 FLU07-03 Page 7
The new Cat HYDO Advanced 10 formulation will have an FT-IR fingerprint different
from Cat HYDO. To assist your S•O•S Services analysis program in making the
transition, it will be necessary to deplete the oil in bulk tanks to the lowest safe level and
then refill to avoid oil analysis inconsistencies. S•O•S laboratory personnel and your oil
analysis interpreters must be made aware of this change. A new FT-IR reference
sample must be established at your location. The reference sample must be taken
directly from your bulk tank after the first shipment of the new oil is transferred to that
tank.
Kinematic Viscosity at 100° C - Condemnation guideline: no greater than a 2 cSt
change from new.
• The following data are highly desirable, but are optional:
Total Acid Number (TAN is not required if FT-IR oxidation is run.) - Condemnation limit:
TAN of New Oil Max. Permissible TAN of Used Oil
1.0 3.0
* Oil management guideline: Use S•O•S oil analysis; rectify any problem, filter oil, or
change oil and filter.
** Condemnation limit guideline: Rectify problem, change oil and filter.
